Ghost Sign

Description

I found this sign over 30 years ago, painted on the back of a store in a small, Northern Alabama town. About six month ago, I went back to search for it. The image is processed with Nik Software, followed by two texture layers. Originally, there was a power pole blocking the view of the sign and a modern aluminum door within the brick archway. Both were removed with the clone tool.

Exif: F Number: 4, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 10/2500 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 400, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 45.00 mm, Model: NIKON D60
